I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

Chapter 1877 - 1870: Bargain Sale for 1 Gold Coin

"All Elders of Shennong Valley, heed my command and head to Xuanyun City. No matter the cost, you must rescue Gu Xiao and the others!" Yi Yang set down the communicator and immediately issued an order.

"Valley Master? Are you sure?"

"Valley Master, the entire group of Elders? You want to rescue Gu Xiao?"

"Isn’t this inappropriate? If we go to help Gu Xiao, it would mean directly opposing the Divine Profound Hall."

"Valley Master, what terms has Gu Xiao offered you?"

The Elders hadn’t heard the conversation between Gu Xiao and Yi Yang, and many of them were unaware of the Prestige Cauldron. The Prestige Cauldron belonged to successive Valley Masters of Shennong Valley and symbolized their authority. Its significance to Shennong Valley is akin to that of an emperor’s Jade Seal.

However, after it was lost, hardly anyone mentioned the Prestige Cauldron again. Only a few veteran Elders in Shennong Valley had heard of it.

"Our Shennong Valley’s supreme treasure, the Prestige Cauldron, is in Gu Xiao’s hands!" Yi Yang said with utmost seriousness.

"The Prestige Cauldron? What is the Prestige Cauldron?"

"Have you heard of it?"

"I don’t know what it is either. It seems to be something very important."

"Valley Master, you mentioned the Prestige Cauldron!" Several very senior Elders immediately showed expressions identical to Yi Yang’s.

When the old Valley Master passed on his position, he was obsessed with the long-lost Prestige Cauldron of Shennong Valley.

At that time, they had not found a way to reopen the Ancient Cave Heaven, so it was merely a mission passed down through generations.

Later, they discovered a way into the Ancient Cave Heaven, but with the rampaging Night Demons and Blood Demons, even powerful Dao Realm experts found it difficult to survive in the Ancient Cave Heaven. Several expeditions ended in failures, with even a few Elders lost.

No one anticipated that Gu Xiao’s gains this time would be so plentiful!

It’s no longer a secret that he acquired heritage related to the Divine Profound Hall, but who knew he also discovered Shennong Valley’s supreme treasure?

"The Prestige Cauldron is a long-lost treasure of our Shennong Valley, containing records of tens of thousands of advanced elixir alchemy methods. With it, refining some extremely difficult elixirs becomes exceedingly easy," Yi Yang explained roughly about the Prestige Cauldron.

Across the entire Continent, Shennong Valley possesses the most pill recipes. The highest level of elixirs is the Saint Level Ninth Grade Elixir, but if further categorized, they can be divided into grades.

The highest is called the Prestige Level Elixir. For Dao Realm Martial Artists, such elixirs are rare treasures, and only a handful of people have been able to refine them. Those who can are almost all from Shennong Valley.

As for Prestige Level Elixir recipes, only 17 are known, with 15 currently residing in Shennong Valley.

According to Yi Yang’s understanding, the Prestige Cauldron alone contains over hundreds of scrolls of Prestige Level Elixir recipes! The number of other pill recipes is even more countless!

This is just its storage of information. Its auxiliary benefits are even more remarkable, capable of enhancing an Alchemist’s skills by two to three great levels, with substantial help in refining efficiency.

After hearing Yi Yang’s explanation, everyone suddenly understood why he was so beside himself.

"Valley Master, is this information reliable?"

"Based on the description left by the old Valley Master, the medicine cauldron just now in Gu Xiao’s hands is identical to Shennong Valley’s Prestige Cauldron!"

"But could it be a fake, and he’s designing a scheme to have us rescue him?" an Elder questioned immediately.

"It shouldn’t be," Yi Yang replied. "Firstly, almost no one knows about the existence of the Prestige Cauldron. Even many of you are hearing about it for the first time, let alone outsiders."

"Secondly, Gu Xiao ventured into the Ancient Cave Heaven and likely explored many places, acquiring numerous legacies or treasures. It’s said he once entered a nursery full of Exotic Flowers and Herbs, where others couldn’t enter. I believe he might have that ability."

"It seems that no matter the case, we must head to Xuanyun City to take a look," several veteran Elders noted. "If Gu Xiao is killed and the Prestige Cauldron is indeed in his hands, it would fall into the Divine Profound Hall’s possession, nullifying our Shennong Valley’s significance."

"Correct, true or false, we must take this risk!"

"Immediately gather all Elders and make every effort to rush to Xuanyun City and rescue him!"

...

In Xuanyun City, Zhang Menglong completed another round of communication, but this time, his face was full of anger.

"Alright, you’re calling me a fraud, huh?" Zhang Menglong muttered to himself.

In that place within the Ancient Cave Heaven, he obtained two personal items from the ancient Sect Master of the Intercepting Path Sect.

One was a scroll recording all the Cultivation Techniques of their Sect, and the other was a very unique suit of armor.

According to the last letter left by that Sect Master, this suit of armor was a treasured artifact created by their ancestors of the Intercepting Path Sect at great cost.

Its material is made from the bones of a terrifying ancient creature, said to be the scariest type of Warcraft, to the point where even the Dragon Clan could only become its prey. A Sixth Grade Dao Realm Martial Artist, once clad in this armor, could stand undefeated against Peak of Dao Realm experts!

Even against Eighth Grade or higher Dao Realm experts, one could still match a Peak of Dao Realm fight evenly with it!

He just contacted the Intercepting Path Sect’s Sect Master, but before he could finish speaking, the other party abruptly ended the communication.

The Sect Master of the Intercepting Path Sect has a large temper, brash and impetuous; put harshly, he’s a strong but simple-minded person. Without even thinking, he concluded that what Zhang Menglong was saying was deceitful and rudely ended the call.

"If you don’t want it, then don’t blame me!"

Zhang Menglong directly logged onto the Continent’s largest auction house.

With current technology, virtually any real-world data can synchronize with the virtual. Zhang Menglong took only a few minutes to list an auction item for consignment at a rock-bottom starting price of 1 Gold Coin!

"Don’t believe it, huh? I’ll sell your treasures for dirt cheap!"

Truth be told, this suit of armor is indeed a treasure, but it doesn’t catch Zhang Menglong’s interest. He could use it as leverage to have the Intercepting Path Sect save him, or he could lose it without much regret.

...

After system review, the auction item soon appeared on the Continent’s largest online auction platform, Cloud Pavilion.

"Intercepting Path Sect’s sacred relic, Emperor Jun’s Armor, an ancient divine artifact from the Intercepting Path Sect?"

"Hahaha, starting price 1 Gold Coin, isn’t this a joke? If it were real, could it be this price?"

"If it’s real, this seller must already have been killed by the Intercepting Path Sect, right?"

When the item first went live, everyone who saw it just regarded it as a boring joke. On this platform, auction item names and some basic information can be customized by the seller.

So instances of sensational titles often occur, which doesn’t surprise anyone.

However, when they clicked on this item, the basic data presented by the auction platform left them dumbstruck.

"This...is he really daring to sell it? Has the site gone mad, or has this seller gone mad?"
